THE MAN ON THE TRAIN

Debbie Babitt

One man is about to have a midlife crisis like no man has ever had before. But for his wife, the nightmare is just beginning...
Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Linda Haley is awakened early one morning by two police officers at the door. She has no idea that her husband has been living a secret life during his daily commute into the city. Now Guy is the prime suspect in a brutal murder that could derail Linda's high-powered career and may be connected to a cold case. And Guy has disappeared. With a warrant out for his arrest, Linda travels to the scene of a forty-year-old unsolved murder and a night of violence that shattered the serenity of a fishing hamlet on the eastern end of Long Island. Aided and abetted by an ex-cop who's in love with her, she searches for evidence that could clear Guy's name. But as the manhunt intensifies and she begins to uncover the shocking truth - and the past Guy has buried deep - Linda must decide if the stranger she married is innocent or guilty. And if he truly deserves to be saved. Hurtling down the tracks like a runaway train, this Hitchcockian thriller careens from a bedroom community to the Hamptons to a suburban train station, where a killer hiding in plain sight waits to exact a final revenge.
